feb27bandwoman 112 Posted November 6, 2012 How long has she been losing 1-2 pounds per day? Unbelievable that this is happening in Beverley hills, California.emphasis on the unbelievable part. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Banterwonder 63 Posted November 6, 2012 If you were losing 1-2 pounds per day for " a couple of months", that would be around 60 pounds ? Doctor who sees you for two visits in the same week and then says go away , you have no insurance?Something is not right? Were you self-pay? If you paid everything up front, what was the aftercare supposed to be/cover? Aftercare is so important. Wouldn't you be considered an emergency surgery? If this is a blockage? Doesn't this hospital have other surgeons? I think there is something else going on in this very bizarre situation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CHEZNOEL 4,061 Posted November 6, 2012 Call an attorney, even an ambulance chaser can handle this stupidity. Ask for a hospital advocate. This is ludicrous! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
krismo83 0 Posted November 6, 2012 Posting on behalf of my sister Krismo83! This whole situation is exactly that UNBELIEVABLE! Her drs washed their hands of her and told her to go to a county hospital because she has no insurance. Update: My sister had her surgery this morning and is now in recovery. They removed the band.
